Just got this from Steve Benjamin:
Dear Friends,
We woud like to issue a correction. Due to overwhelming response, the Township Auditorium’s Box Office has completely sold out of free tickets.
We apologize and hope that everyone will not only come out to the One Columbia Inaugural Gala but the other events that we have planned for this.
Guess I’ll leave the tux in the closet. But I am going to the breakfast tomorrow morning.
By the way, did you know that Steve has his own official emblem as mayor-elect, a la Obama? Not something I’d want to make a big deal of, but I thought it worth a mention. I liked Obama (and still do), so I only made gentle fun of his seal at the time. I like Steve, too, and have great hopes for Columbia’s future with him as mayor. I really think he’ll do well. But the seal… while it’s nothing much to look at (he shoulda come to ADCO if he wanted something snazzy), it does seem a tad pretentious. Or is it just me?

Party on dudes!
They’re only “sold out” of the free tickets. I reckon you and the Mrs. could get a seat at a table for $250….
Did he really say they’ve sold out of free tickets?
“By the way, did you know that Steve has his own official emblem as mayor-elect…”
Yep, Free Times reported on that around May 20th and, yep, it’s a tad over the top.
All government seals look crappy. Well, at least in SC they do, since they don’t pay real designers to make them.
